Well, it's a culmination of observations but, you also said that you hate Aronofsky, and you found Bring it on 4 to be ok... all of this on one page.

lol just because I said Bring it on 4 was okay doesn't mean I think it deserves an Oscar

I gave a very specific reason for why I hate Aronofsky....maybe you skipped over reading that.

Obsessing with obsession? That doesn't take away from his directing however. Plus, every director has a specific way that they direct that their viewers can identify and think, oh yes, this is definitely Christopher Nolan film, etc.

All of this above is a completely pointless argument. Taste is 100% subjective. If someone doesn't like Aronofsky, that does not imply that they have poor taste. That merely implies that their tastes don't align with yours.

People can and will like what they want to like. That's their prerogative.

I don't care about his directing because his films don't interest me and if you think I have poor tastes because I don't like your favorite director then so be it.....it's just one pretentious director.

This is a copout. Taste is subjective within reasonable limits.

He's not my favourite director, and like I said, my opinion isn't based on just this one post, that would be awfully shallow of me. But I don't want to argue with you into believing he's good director or anything, I just wanted to get that sentiment off my chest is all.

that's fine you can speak your opinion.....and I didn't really see this as an argument but w/e.

If I'm not interested in a certain movie/director there is nothing that you can say to make me suddenly like it and that goes for everything in life with people in general.

That's why debates are so silly because when people are stuck in their ways and only agree with their side/opinion there is nothing that can be said by the opponent to change their mind about said issue.

A 'hack' is someone brought into a film to pick up the missing pieces or is a director for hire that the studio can rely on to do what they are told and produce a film to comply with their commercial criteria.

If you really think that Aronofsky is a hack then you have a very poor understanding of movies in general.

If you don't like his films then that is fair enough but he is far from a hack and each film he has done has a tonality distinctly different from his last.

This is not about one viewers opinion differing to another's either.

A genuine film fan should appreciate a director that constantly challenges the status quo and admire them for it. Liking their films is immaterial.

I am not a big fan of Kubrick, Hartley or Tarantino but I appreciate their films and look beyond my dislike to watch their films without comparing them to genuine 'hack' films that only trade in box office ratio numbers.

I felt like calling him a "hack" because I don't like his films even though I have watched all of his films at least once. They just do nothing for me. I don't care for his directing style or anything of that nature.
